Well, here's a restaurant owner in Dublin One.
They're not near a drop-off point.
So now on top of the bag charge, we need to pay an extra β¬4 a day to have the bags collected by a bin company.
That's β¬1,500 a year.
More costs that we can't afford.
And another, I'm in favour of the bag ban, but the council or the rates should be doing this service or paying for this service.
You don't agree with that?
All right, Martin Hart, CEO of the Temple Bar Company.
Thank you very much.
Martin says you have to suck it up and you have to pay for your bins to be collected.
What do you think?
We turn first to reports this morning that many HSE mental health centres can't provide therapy to many patients due to understaffing.
The Irish Examiner tells us that people with really serious mental health needs, including psychosis and suicidal distress, are not getting the full range of therapeutic treatment that they need.
For more on this, I'm joined by Liam Quaid, who's the Social Democrats TD for Cork East.
And Liam is also a clinical psychologist.
Good morning to you, Liam.
Just so people are clear about these mental health centres, they're around the country.
There's about 60 of them, is that right?
So this is very serious.
OK, but just to explain to people, if you are admitted to one of these mental health centres, it's a residential system, isn't it?
